Quote ="Mugwump"Give over. You scraped home with a lucky bounce and a kick-through, at home, against a side with no halves. Your pack tackled well enough (although I'd expect nothing less given that it was practically a must-win game) but your props were garbage. What were (Honest) Tony Clubb's stats again? I think they were better than the previous week's THREE CARRIES for TWENTY ODD YARDS - but he'd struggle to achieve less if he'd fallen over holding the ball above his head!
Your much vaunted backs were completely snuffed out and had we the kind of fortune you'd been granted with the first kick we could easily have experienced the comic delight of winning without so much as a playmaker in sight.
If anything you were even WORSE than in the Grand Final. At least there you made the odd break through the backs. At the JJB you offered nothing.
It's unfortunate that we lost. But I expected it given our current predicament. Come the end of the season it'll be business as usual.

Sorry to take over your board Wire fans, but I had to respond to this utter nonsense.
We matched you in the forwards on Good Friday, so what if Clubb didn't do many carries. His defensive effort got us the field position for the 2nd try. He made more metres on that bog of a pitch with three carries than Mose made against Leeds. Best pack in the world got equalled by our under performing too small pack, (according to you). No wonder you got mullered by Leeds. As for your lack of halves, your meant to have an England academy international. This might be a bit radical, but why not play a half in the halves like Wire did with Patton.
